Own work. Geometry and dimensions are based on measurements of the flag image that appears in the schedule on page 2 of Vanuatu's State Flag and Armorial Bearings Public Declaration. A copy of the declaration can be found at paclii.org. That web page displays the text from the public declaration, but it does not directly display the schedule. There is a download button at the top of the page that sometimes works; when it is working, the download button will allow the download of a file named The public declaration is dated March 19,1980 which was just a few months prior to Vanuatu gaining its independence. It starts with the following sentence:
The public declaration does not use words to describe or define the geometry of the flag; the flag is therefore defined only by the image in the schedule on page 2. The image is a simple bitmap image with no labelled dimensions.
The implication is that the official flag of Vanuatu has a legal aspect ratio of 2:3. Most of the books and websites devoted to sovereign state flags claim that Vanuatu's flag ratio is one of 19:36, 11:18, or 3:5. None of these books and websites attempt to back up their claims with any official government statute, declaration, or proclamation.
